Jai Shri Krishna

COLLEGE DAY REPORT: 2017 - 18

Good Evening

Warm greetings to every one of you present here for the 53rd College

Day Celebrations.

Dwaraka Doss Goverdhan Doss Vaishnav College had its humble

beginning in 1964, founded by the Sri Vallabhacharya Vidya Sabha with

the objective of imparting education and empowering the youth. The

college, over the five decades, has recorded phenomenal growth in terms of

infrastructure, introduction of innovative, job oriented courses.

I wish to state that ever since the college became autonomous the

curriculum has been periodically redesigned and restructured to cater to

the changing needs and requirements of the student community.

I wish to express my sincere thanks to the staff members both

teaching and non-teaching for their whole-hearted support. It is only

through their concerted efforts that today, this institution, stands as an

epitome of knowledge in Chennai, offering 59 different courses at the

undergraduate, post graduate and research levels with a whopping number

of 8,000 students.

I would like to place on record that, the management during this

year has awarded financial assistance to the tune of Rs.7,23…../- in order

to encourage deserving students in academics and sports. As many as

______ students have been benefited from this gesture.

This academic year 2017-18, we are extremely happy to highlight the

significant achievements before this august assembly:


Infrastructure

The lush green campus has undergone a major facelift this academic

year. The Visual Communication department moved from Goverdhan

Block to Ganga Block with state of the art facilities.

renovation of the block.

The Vaishnav team whole-heartedly expresses its gratitude to His

Holiness Vagdhishraiji Mahoday for having accepted our invitation, within

a short notice. We are happy to have our Guruji in our midst.

I take this opportunity to express my sincere thanks and deep sense

of gratitude to all those who were there with me in different capacities as

mentors, leaders, colleagues, students and friends for their unstinted

support, co-operation and constant encouragement.

With great respect I, on behalf of my colleagues and students, record

our deep sense of indebtedness to the ever friendly members of the

management, Governing Body of the College and Shri Vallabacharya Vidya

Sabha in general and to our beloved secretary, Shri. Ashok Kumar

Mundhraji, in particular, for being instrumental in motivating this

institution as a whole to stand on par with the best. D G Vaishnav College

is distinct from others in CLASS, PERFORMANCE and ACHIEVEMENT as a

result of the concerted efforts of the management, staff and students.

I seek the blessings of our Founder patron His Holiness 108 Shri.

MATHURESHWARJI MAHARAJSHREE. I pray Lord Shri Krishna, the

presiding deity of our college to shower his choicest blessings on this

‗Vaishnav Family‘ to grow further in strength with the spirit of togetherness

and camaraderie.
